Best Mobile Apps for iPhone and Android

Published February 26, 2015

Mobile gaming is becoming increasingly important, with a recent development being the switch to downloadable Apps.

Over recent years, more and more sports bettors, casino, Poker and Bingo players have moved from PC's and laptops to mobile phones and tablet computers to enjoy their games. Now, another change is taking place, with downloadable Apps beginning to replace direct browser access.

Growth of Gambling Apps

Recent studies have shown the explosive growth of the Apps market, with the two main providers, namely Google Play and the Apple iTunes Store dominating. Although Google apps were downloaded in greater numbers, Apple brought in more revenue, while the USA, South Korea and Japan between them accounted for over 50% of the downloads tracked in 2014.

Online casinos have followed suit in creating apps. While mobile gambling has been around for the past few years, more and more casinos are developing specified apps for players to enjoy their favorite type of games.

Personalized Mobile Gambling

The best part of the app phenomenon is that it is personalized. There are now many operators providing separate apps for each type of gaming, so a sports bettor doesn't need a casino app if they don't want it, while different apps are offered for different regions, depending on the legality of mobile wagering, and local preferences. Instead of downloading the entire casino, a player can choose to download the app for the type of betting he likes - sportsbooks, poker, bingo, etc.

Two good examples of online casinos with terrific apps are bet365 Casino and Winner Casino. Both casinos offer a great variety of apps and are available on a range of operating systems. Their apps are easy to use and have nice interfaces, making play easy for players.

bet365 has both Android and Apple apps for wagering across their sportsbook, Casino, Poker, Live Casino and Bingo sections, while Winner has a no-download app for Android, Apple, Windows or Symbian operating systems. Sports, Football, slots, Bingo, casino and horse racing are available via Winner apps.
